Chapter 237 Fishing
Song Sanniang and her partner came to the Bi Bo Lake and looked at the beautiful scenery of the lotus flowers in full bloom and a group of ducks swimming in the lake. Mr. Hu's mood, which had been troubled by the painting just now, was really relieved a lot.
Master Hu smiled and said, "You little rich woman, you made this place so poetic and picturesque. This is really a great place to go."
This was not the first time that Master Hu came here. Song Sanniang came here with Master Hu when she bought the mountain.
At that time, this place was just a deep mountain with a lava cave. The rice fields in front, including the surroundings of the clear water lake, were all overgrown with weeds and bushes, some as tall as a person.
There were also various fruit trees and other trees growing here and there. Some of these trees were transplanted to the cave, and some were directly cut down and used as firewood.
It was Song Sanniang who bought the mountain after seeing the cave and the green lake, and had people transform the place into what it is today bit by bit.
At that time, in order to build this place well, she came here several times a month. This is not the foot of the mountain, this is halfway up the mountain.
After traveling back and forth from the provincial capital to here, she lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, the final result was very satisfactory.
"Haha, this is my masterpiece. Every time I look down at the scenery from my room upstairs, I feel refreshed." Song Sanniang said happily.
The two chatted and walked around the Green Lake until they came to the corridor. There were several fishing rods placed under the long stone bench in the corridor.
Mr. Hu was very interested in fishing, and Song Sanniang was also interested in fishing, so the two of them took fishing rods and went to the fertile land nearby to dig. After a while, they dug out a few earthworms.
The two men hung earthworms on the fishhooks and came to the lake. There were a few low stools by the lake, which should have been put there by the people in the village. They would sometimes come here to fish, and the fish they caught could be a snack.
The fish in the lake include colorful koi, Song Sanniang's favorite tilapia, crucian carp, and carp.
Song Sanniang also released some shrimp fry, but she didn't know whether all the shrimps were eaten or not, as she hadn't been here for a long time.
The two cast the fishing hook into the lake, and the ducks that were playing in the lake in the distance swam towards this side in groups.
They all knew that when someone was fishing there would be bait to eat. This made Song Sanniang and the other girl dumbfounded, because if they ran over they would scare the fish away.
The ducks swam over quickly, but they only swam around the fishing rods and did not dive to the bottom of the water to eat the bait. It seemed as if they came just to play with the two of them, and they made quacking sounds from time to time.
Master Hu looked at the ducks and laughed, "Now we are fishing just like Jiang Taigong fishing, whoever wants to take the bait will do." As soon as she finished speaking, Song Sanniang's hook was bitten.
Song Sanniang felt the fishing rod being pulled, so she quickly held on to it, then slowly stood up and slowly pulled the fishing rod behind her.
Master Hu clicked his tongue twice, "I said that those who are willing should take the bait, but it didn't take my hook, but took yours instead. It really showed the wrong feelings."
Song Sanniang smiled. She didn't expect to catch a fish not long after she sat down. She was quite excited.
"It's strange that these fish have no natural enemies here, so they have become stupid and only come to eat if there is food."
Mrs. Hu could already see the outline of the fish. She shouted excitedly, "I saw it. It's your favorite tilapia. If you try harder, I think this fish should be around four or five pounds. It looks like we'll have to prepare a fish feast tonight."
As soon as she finished speaking, her own fishing rod began to sink. She quickly grabbed it, and then imitated Song Sanniang, slowly dragging the fishing rod backwards.
"Haha, I caught some fish too. Just like you said, these fish are stupid." Mr. Hu looked like a teenage girl.
Song Sanniang had already pulled the fish to the shore. It was indeed a lively tilapia, weighing about four pounds.
Thinking of the tender fish meat, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She looked around and found a fish basket under a willow tree on the shore.
She went to get the fish basket and put the fish in it. What Mr. Hu caught was a crucian carp, which was bigger than the tilapia that Song Sanniang had caught. She could make a milky and delicious crucian carp soup tonight.
The two of them won the first battle, so they continued fishing. Not long after fishing, they heard the cry of Song Xiaodi from afar.
The two looked up and saw him running towards them from the rice field with his short legs, waving his hands as he ran. Song Sanniang was really afraid that he would fall down.
Fortunately, Qin Haoxi, who had gotten rid of his short stature, followed behind him. Although he was not as tall as his brother, he was still about 168 cm tall.
But he is not too old now, no older than sixteen, and he will probably continue to grow.
Qin Haoxi caught up with the little kid, picked him up, and walked over here.
The little kid clapped his hands happily and said, "Brother Haoxi is so good to me. When I grow up, I will definitely be filial to you." These words made Qin Haoxi laugh. He didn't know where he learned them from.
On the way from the rice fields to the lake, Song Xiaodi talked to Qin Haoxi so much that it was impossible to get a needle to get through. This made him, who usually didn't talk much, laugh and cry.
He couldn't understand why a child was so talkative. His servant Xiao Hulu followed behind him and would occasionally interject.
The three of them soon arrived at the lake. After they greeted each other, Qin Haoxi also sat down to fish with them.
Little Brother Song was ordered to watch behind everyone and not to approach the lake. Little Gourd also helped to watch him, fearing that he would fall into the water because the lake was not shallow.
Song had no choice but to run to the fish basket and tease the two fish with a small wooden stick.
He would look up from time to time at the three people sitting on the shore fishing with envy, his face full of grievance and his mouth pouted high, which made Little Gourd feel very distressed.
He took out some candy from his arms and said, "Master Mibao, please don't be unhappy. We are all doing this for your own good. Here, I'll give you some candy. Please don't think this candy is bad."
When Song saw that there was candy to eat, his eyes lit up immediately. He threw down the stick in his hand and ran to the little gourd, "I want to eat it. I don't mind it. Brother Gourd, you are so nice."
Little Gourd handed him the candy and patted his head happily.
Xiao Hulu was also a poor man. His father was beaten to death by his master, and his mother took him away. The two depended on each other for survival.
Later, they became street beggars. A trafficker wanted to sell them, but Qin Haodong saved them.
Originally, the good days for the two of them were coming, but his mother always gave him food first. Her health had long been failing, and she passed away soon, leaving behind the little gourd.
Originally, Qin Haodong wanted Xiaohulu to be a waiter in the Tian Mi Mi store, but Xiaohulu insisted on repaying the favor, so Qin Haodong placed Xiaohulu next to Qin Haoxi to take care of him.
In order to protect little brother Song's teeth, Song Sanniang forbade family members to give him candy on weekdays, so he was so greedy when he saw the candy. But this time, since it was given to him by Xiaohulu, Song Sanniang let him eat it.
In the evening, the setting sun painted the sky colorful, pink, red and gold, mixed in the blue of the sky, which was particularly intoxicating. Song Sanniang and her group returned home with heavy fish baskets full of fish.
